One of the most popular slice of life aka Hyouka is a good mix of slice of life and mystery. Not only it has good animation quality, the storyline is quite nicely paced and you may also find relatable characters (And the show literally understood the true meaning of 'Slice of life')
The story focuses on the main character Oreki Houtaro, who is the type of person who likes to conserve his energy, so he likes his life being plain and boring with nothing exciting. Even he mentions his motto is "If I don't have to do it, I don't. If I have to do it,
...
I'd do it quick". However, things change when his sister forces him to join her club that's going to die if no one joins. After joining, he encounters Chitanda Eru, who's known to be very curious who'd be changing his life. The show also focuses on Satoshi Fukube, who's known to have knowledge on things that are mostly useless and Ibara Mayaka, who's literally a perfectionist. The story shows of them facing different mysteries and their perspective toward the answer
The show has deep meaning but it's not that hard to understand as well. The show understood the meaning of 'slice of life'. It focuses on character's daily life, everything that normally should be happening in real life and the mysteries blended so good that it can make anyone hooked into this series. There's little romance in characters leaving the viewers to use their imagination to ship whoever they like. The characters were also relatable most of the time. The soundtracks are masterpiece cuz they nailed it when the show needed the most serene environment ever. And the opening and endings were good as well
Overall it's a 10/10 as a slice of life
